Like "Sleeping Beauty" in the fairy tale, awakened by her prince's lovely kiss, earth's pretty butterflies, aroused, soon hail new life from dark cocoon to brilliant bliss. What miracle it is, from furry past to work of art with intricate designs, inside a magic canvas, when at last the kiss of Nature paints and redefines. Confined once to the earth on shrubs and trees, renewed now with bright wings to soar and fly, these butterflies of beauty hug the breeze for heavenly existence in the sky. Our gift from Nature- rebirth's mystery; her metaphor for death and life to be. January 11, 2017 Premiere Contest: Magical Spell Contest Sponsor: Robert James Liguori

This is a beautiful sonnet on butterflies. It should have been a placement. It deals with the very essence of life and death which is so characteristic of this insect. Hugs. A 7 and fav.
